    Default F22s at Buckley ? !

    Pretty sure I just had a few 22's fly over the house and land at Buckley. I've never seen one before and the wife is scared at how much I geeked out. Only caught a glimpse and couldn't get my camera out.

    Cool planes. Love the 'super cruise' on those.

    I don't know what an F22 is, but I saw a jet blast north from Buckley yesterday. It didn't make it very far and suddenly something that looked like smoke poured out of the back end and he immediately turned around and landed back at Buckley. I think he had bad things happen to the turbine or something.

    Watched 4 F15's take off the other day while I was at our storage unit on Lincoln.

    I still maintain the YF-23 was sexxier. Don't know how that translates in combat, but it was damn purty.
    What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

    I was working on a undisclosed base in an undisclosed state, but the f-22s were stationed there and we got to watch them every single day doing flight maneuvers and getting hit with multiple sonic booms each day. After watching those planes in action (we got to watch them do live fire drills) and knowing that our military has even more badass shit, it makes me wonder why anyone would ever even consider going up against us.
